... I'm not conscious of the speed ... it's not my motive ... my motive is displaying a voice through the fingerboard ... it can get to the point where I don't have control over what I am playing ... I never end the gig until I can't sing anymore

George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.

I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.

I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.
